...CAME THE BLUES (Decca). Some of the rural bluesmen made it to Chicago, and this swinging thesaurus of the '30s was mostly recorded there.

Then he flushed the chelating agent with dilute hydrochloric acid. Analysis proved that the acid had picked up 450 micrograms of copper and 50 micrograms of uranium, the precise amounts present in 100 liters of Bay of Naples water...
